If that is the case, then they should be punished to the full extent of the law. Just like any lawbreakers should be---black or white.
I agree. 100%
I didn't touch on that issue because--simply put--it wasn't relevant to the points I was trying to make that time which were: yes, there was an attack but no, the store owner is not somehow responsible and no, there is nothing insideous about the fact that the assailants are out of jail already.
I am glad, however, that you reminded us of that very important fact. Thanks.
anti-racist-sexism demonstrations, Monday 7/15
On Monday, July 15 from noon to one pm, Black
Women will STAND STILL on the commons while our allies
of other genders and colors hand out fliers to
passersby that say, "See Black Women. We're Human
Beings. Stop Violence."
We're also hoping to gather in front of Pete's
Grocery store on Buffalo St. on Monday, July 15 at 5pm
as bodyguards. We'll either chant or hold signs up
that say, "YOU JUST WATCHED, NOW WE'RE WATCHING YOU."
Please bring your WORKING video cameras!
I hope you can participate and/or spread the
word. All are welcome. Passivity contributes to the
problem-let's get free!
Ithaca is the City of Evil.
